Wish

I wish that I knew more. I wish I knew what to say, or not say. I wish I understood better what is happening with and to my dad as he journeys through dementia. I wish. So I’ve sought out groups on social media. I’ve talked with others who have walked a similar walk. I research. Dad has a doctor appointment soon so we will be talking with him about the things going on with dad. I pray at…

Acknowledging that certain traits are commonly desired by feminine or masculine genders isn't exorsexist & intersexist...but treating them as always feminine or masculine is.

If a perisex trans woman desires estrogenizing HRT because they desire breasts & widened hips, which are commonly associated with femininity, that isn't exorsexist & intersexist. However, it is exorsexist & intersexist to say that estrogenizing HRT, breasts, and widened hips are inherently feminine.

If a perisex trans man desires androgenizing HRT because they desire a beard and bottom growth + metoidioplasty, which are commonly associated with masculinity, that isn't exorsexist & intersexist. However, it is exorsexist & intersexist to say that androgenizing HRT, a beard, and a penis are inherently masculine.

Feminine-associated traits aren't inherently feminine. Masculine-associated traits aren't inherently masculine. It just depends on who has them.

Keep non-binary and intersex people in mind. Remember not to gender HRT, top surgery, or bottom surgery.

Remember that not all transfems and intersex fems want to look or function like perisex cis women. Remember that not all transmascs and intersex mascs want to look or function like perisex cis men.

Remember that transandrogynous, transneutral, transnull, transgenderless, transxenine, transoutherine, transaporine, multigender, and mixed gender people exist.

You are not inherently an antisemite for criticizing Netanyahu or actions of the Israeli government.

You ARE inherently an antisemite if you excuse/justify/celebrate when random Israeli civilians are murdered.

Israel contains half the world’s Jews- you can’t celebrate half the world’s Jewish population dying without being an antisemite.

Watch how some so-called “activists” react to the antisemitic DC murders. If you don’t hear Jews crying out about what happened, you either follow no Jews or only tokens.

Being transgender is more than just "not identifying with your AGAB."

^This definition is very limiting, and has little room for intersex perspectives. In fact, it also doesn't align with many perisex non-binary/genderqueer experiences (Example: Perisex multigender people who fully identify with their assigned gender, while simultaneously aligning with other genders.)

And sure, some intersex people have a consistent assigned gender, depending on their variation, and how it affects their body. But many intersex people have a COMPLICATED experience with how they were assigned and viewed growing up.

Intersex people can be given a coercively assigned gender at birth (CAGAB), which may not align with their future puberty, or how they are viewed socially. [Example: A person born with ambiguous genitalia, who is given unneeded non-consensual surgery to make the genitalia more "binary", and assigns a gender based on that non-consensual procedure.]

Intersex people can be given an assigned gender at birth, but a reassigned gender after birth (RGAB.) [Example: An AMAB intersex person, born with a penis/penis-like genitalia, however later they are discovered to have more "feminine" physically traits, and are reassigned female and raised female because because its "easier" or "more fitting"]

Intersex people can be given a socially imposed gender (SIG) [Example: A person who is "female" in every way, but during puberty is discovered to have hyperandrogenism, and develops a more masculine-associated body because of it - oftentimes, that person will be mistaken as a male by society, or treated as AMAB by those around them.] Some people even experience multiple SIGs at the same time, depending on the scenario [Example: being expected to behave as 'male' by some people, and 'female' by others, depending on how they are dressed or what events they attend.]

Are you going to tell someone who was given a CAGAB the opinion of the doctor who mutilated them is more important than theirs? That a person who was CAMAB, but originally had a vulva, that they cannot identify as transmasculine?

Are you going to tell someone who was AFAB, but RMAB that they can't identify as a trans-woman because of their "original assignment", which is no longer relevant to how they were raised?

Or, on the flip side - are you going to tell someone who was AMAB, but treated as 'female' from their SIG, that they can't identify as transfem, because even though they are AMAB, they weren't "treated as AMAB"?

And what about intersex trans people who were AXAB (assigned X at birth?) What about people who were UAB (unassigned at birth?) Are you going to deny or affirm their transness based on your view of them?

Transgender and cisgender aren't mutually exclusive terms.

Personally, we think transgender should be defined as "people who identify against [eurocentric] historically-imposed expectations of gender."

Just a reminder...

2919 - Remember when ABC refused to air Amy Robach’s "We have everything" story on the Epstein client list? 🤔
